Course
1 mile FLAT & FAST loop
Both the Half & Full are USATF certified...so the Full will be a Boston Qualifier

Yes...It's a 1 mile loop.

NO...We've never had any one say it was tedious, we have had hundreds of people say it was loads of fun.

Timing:

• Chip timed Start & Finish
• Chip timed split every mile
• Mile splits are displayed on timing clocks as you pass by the mile point...helping you keep on pace.

Entertainment

•  We realize that it might get a little repetitive running a 1 mile loop...so we'll have music & entertainment along the course to keep you going and motivated!

Course Cut Off

• Because of the nature of the event, the course will close at 10:30 am (4 hour race time).

Notes when running:

1. Run the tangents...that means always run the shortest possible route.

2.  If you want to walk or run slower, no problem...we just need you to run on the right so the faster participants can get through on the shortest path.

3.  Remember...it's a one mile loop, with the .1 or .2 going from the lap count to the finish.

USATF Cert #

Full:  NV24006MWC

Half:  NV24005MWC
